Hi everybody welcome back Dennis Prager here

carrying over the great economist Stephen Moore. We're talking about the green industrial complex.

What is the term you use? Climate change industrial complex. It's an industry now.

What is the amount of money the United States government has taken from taxpayers to subsidize this? You know you would think I would know the

answer that and I've tried to get I've tried to tally up.

Yeah, it's hard to figure it out because they have so many multiple programs that have been going on for 30 or 40 these went back to Jimmy Carter years when Jimmy Carter was into the

of the alternative because remember running running out of gasoline that was their

original thing we're running out of oil so we have to stop using it now even though we

have massive amounts of oil we have to stop using it so I would estimate over the last 25 years we've probably spent a half

a trillion dollars on green energy and by the way it's nowhere. Did you know last year

the United States do you know what percentage of all the energy that we use in the United States comes from fossil fuels?

I would say 85. You're pretty close. Somewhere between 80 and 85%. Now this lunatic in the White House, I'm sorry, this is a lunatic idea. Have you heard of the idea of net zero? Yeah. Net zero. No carbon. No carbon's. This this if you wanted to destroy a country this would be a really good way to go

so it we're at 85% fossil fuels for everything for their transportation for our

factories for our schools for you know everything that we produce they want to

take us from 85 percent to zero over the next 10 years and here you're going to turn the lights off

You're going to have it. Did you see the poll we did asking elites about you know we looked at the elites, the people who have advanced

degrees, people who went to the Ivy League schools, people in the top one or two percent of

income. We asked them, do you think that we should ban air conditioners?

Do you know what percentage of the elite said yes to that?

50. 68%. We asked the question, do you think there's too much freedom or too

literally? By the way, don't forget your second question.
